Laudable initiative

Intralot and Loteria Mineira allocate R$2.6m to create special factories in prisons

In an unprecedented and commendable initiative carried out with funds from Loteria Mineira and Intralot, more than R$ 2.6 million (US$460k) were allocated directly to the creation of sanitary napkin factories in prisons of Minas Gerais. The action to promote dignity, health and well-being for the most vulnerable population joins the possibility of re-socializing prisoners and giving them an opportunity to learn a profession and even have their sentences reduced.

Intralot Brasil is promoting on its social networks an unprecedented and inclusive action that it has been carrying out in partnership with Loteria Mineira, called “Absorbing Dignity”. The company allocated more than R$ 2.6 million (US$460k) directly to the creation of sanitary napkins and disposable diaper factories in prison units in the state of Minas Gerais.

When publicizing the action, Intralot states: “We are proud of this project and you are also part of this work: with every bet you make, part of the values are reverted to actions like this!

The action is supported by resources from the Lottery of the State of Minas Gerias to promote dignity, health and well-being to the population. In addition, as determined by the law on criminal executions, prisonershave a penalty reduction proportional to the days worked. Thus, in addition to benefiting from this legal determination, they also learn a profession and can better reintegrate into society and the labor market when they finish their sentences.

As can be seen, regulated gambling and considered as a sustainable and serious economic activity can benefit several areas of society.
